alleryEuclid defined a line as a what?
AEndless round curve
BFlat wide surface
CBreadthless length
DFixed small point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Breadthless length
1. In Euclid's Elements a line is described as a breadthless length.
2. That means length without width.
3. A surface has width, a point has no length, and a circle is a curve, so these do not match.
